Negatives:
- We use not/n't with verbs to make the meaning of a sentence negative.

In short answers with verbs of thinking and believing, we can put NOT after the verb.

QUESTIONS:
Closed questions start with a form of main verb BE, an auxiliary verb or a modal auxiliary verb. We use them when we want a simple YES/NO answer.

Open questions start with a question word like WHO, WHAT, WHERE, HOW. We use them when we want to find out more information.

When we use more than one auxiliary verb in a sentence, we put NOT after the first auxiliary.

In questions, only the first auxiliary comes before the subject.

NEGATIVE FORMS AND MEANINGS:

USES OF NO AND NOT:

-We use NO to introduce negative replies.

We do not combine NO with a verb to make a negative statement; we use NOT.

We can use NOT + ANY with a noun to express an absence or lack of something.

We can usually use either NO ´NOUN or NOT ... A/ANY+NOUN, although NO can be more emphatic.

We use NO + noun in a number of set phrases.

We can use NO with DIFFERENT and with comparatives.

USES OF NOT WITH QUANTIFIERS AND ADJECTIVES:

We can use NOT in front of positive quantifiers to make the meaning of a clause or phrase negative.

We can use NOT + (adverb) with adjectives to make the meaning negative.

Putting NOT before an adjective weakens the adjective, but it does not have the same strength as an adjective with the opposite meaning. Particularly if we add an adverb after NOT like TOO or PARTICULARLY.

We can also use NT before an adjective with a negative prefix.

The descriptions above are much less definite than these...
